Are You Trusting God’s Gospel?

Galatians 2:1-10 (NASB)

Purpose: To receive the gospel given by God through the Apostles.

We believe only in the gospel of Jesus Christ because...  

Reason #1: Christ’s Gospel of Grace is Greater than Paul (Gal 2:1-2)

Reason #2: Christ’s Gospel of Grace is for the Gentiles Too (Gal 2:3)

Reason #3: Christ’s Gospel of Grace, Guaranteed Against False Teachers (Gal 2:4-5)

Reason #4: All NT Apostles Agree in Christ’s Gospel of Grace (Gal 2:6-7, 9-10)

         See Acts 15:7-11 Peter’s speech

Like Faith & Practice <=> Apostolic Authority <=> Biblical Authority

The Apostles preserved the gospel for us in their writings with perfect continuity so we can hope in the same Jesus Christ as the only way of Salvation!

Reason #5: Christ’s Gospel of Grace is God’s Gospel!
(Gal 2:8-9a)

         How does this affect the way you see the gospel?

We must receive the gospel given by God through the Apostles so that we are believing in God, not depending on mere human teaching!
